Bodybuilders use steroids to build big muscles

[John9]

Believe it or not, a lot of bodybuilders, including professionals and amateurs, use steroids to build big muscles. It is pretty normal actually in the bodybuilding world. So don't be jealous with those extremely muscular guys because steroid-made muscles are weak.

Discuss.

steroid-built muscles are weak...
after some time they get striated with white strias and get flaccid too...
so it would be rather more better to build muscle with exercise rather than steroids for those who have interest in building muscles....
any way steroids too have many side effects for long time consumption...

Steroids are very strong medications. And above all, there is a definite pattern to taking steroids. That pattern is called the step-ladder type process of in-taking the steroids and gradually stopping it immediately when its necessity is over. Sometimes steroids are necessary to build the body's resistance and weakness. It is necessary in many health-conditions. But to just use it in body-building process is never recommended.

Steroids can produce strong reaction, sometimes immediately, sometimes in future. Steroids also give a false sense of strength, because while the body feels strong and tries to do things that require great strength, it is still weak. All the body systems are not in optimal condition to achieve doing great work that requires strength... and eventually they break-down -- sometimes completely. Wrong steroid-use can really degenerate your muscles and bones. The professional body-builders may be using steroids, but they do it under strict medical supervision.

Steroids are not harmful if you are very careful in taking it.

Taking steroids can cause depression, which means you'll feel sad for no apparent reason. As long as you learn to cope with it, depression caused by steroids will not hurt you anymore than taking steroids itself.

Steroids does increase the risk of getting cancer, since it acts similar to cancer when you are trying to build muscle.

I am in college right now and I can tell you there are a lot of people there who do it. I have no interest in doing it because it gives you horrible skin and irritability. Also the muscles are not as strong as natural ones and when stopped they will fade away much more quickly than if they were gained in a normal fashion.
Plus everyone can tell who is on juice and no one respects those people.

Sometimes it is easy to tell who's on steroid. Steroid users muscles sometimes look fake and unnatural. But sometimes you just completely can't tell especially when steroids are taken professionally under the supervision of doctors. Steroid-built muscles are weak because their size grow much faster than their strength. Trust me a lot of people use steroids. It's very sad but it's the truth.
